Carroll’s is putting a border around the edge of a rectangular bulletin board. one side of the bulletin board measures 2 feet and the another side measures 4 feet. is 10 feet of border enough? explain answer.

Let's solve this problem step-by-step.

STEP-BY-STEP SOLUTION:

First let's establish that the problem requires the border to be as long as the total perimeter of the rectangular bulletin board.

Therefore:

Total length of border = Perimeter of rectangular bulletin board

As a rectangle has a total of four sides with two equivalent longer sides and two equivalent shorter sides, we must multiply the value of each of the two sides by two.

Total length of border = 2 ( 2 ) + 2 ( 4 )

Total length of border = 4 + 8

Total length of border = 12 feet

12 > 10

ANSWER:

Therefore, 10 feet of border isn't enough.

First step is to get rid of the square root. remember that a square root is the same as raising to the (1/2) power. see below: multiply exponents per exponent rules to get: remember you subtract exponents from the denominator and add exponents in the numerator so: simplify further: so a is the correct choice. if you don't understand this google exponent rules and it will you understand. look at the image results.
